48 pages of maths built from an ordinary deck of cards
Teacher book by Dr Paul Swan. Number games using standard playing cards, covering space, number, problem solving, probability and place value. All primary years. $40.80.
A deck of cards costs a few dollars and every classroom can get thirty of them. This book turns that into a maths program.
The range is wider than you would expect. Not just arithmetic drills - the book covers space, problem solving, probability and place value. Cards are a natural probability resource because the sample space is finite, known and physical.
Companion to Dice Dilemmas and Dice Dazzlers. The three books share an approach: take a cheap, familiar randomiser and build real mathematics on it. If you have one, the others fit alongside without repeating.
Works with jumbo cards too, which is worth knowing if you want to run an activity on the floor with the whole class watching rather than in small groups.
Cards are not included. This is the 48 page book only. Standard decks work; our School Friendly Playing Cards, with shapes instead of suits and numbers 0 to 13, are the school-appropriate alternative.
No barcode is printed on our supplier's listing for this title, so this page shows none. We will not invent one.
